3 sought in armed home invasion

BONITA SPRINGS: Deputies are looking for several suspects who held up and robbed three people inside their Bonita Springs home Thursday.

According to a Lee County Sheriff's Office report, the men, armed with a gun and wearing bandanas across their faces, opened the front door of the home, located at 10284 Pennsylvania Ave., and demanded prescription pills from three roommates living there.

After taking oxycodone and xanax pills from two of the victims, the assailants reportedly fled the home.

One of the roommates then flagged down a deputy on patrol in the area.

Now that we're getting into the second half of August, it's the the time of year when we really start to monitor the far eastern Atlantic for budding tropical waves that could potentially develop into tropical storms or hurricanes.
